All the Good Things Nice Cream!

Have you heard?  

We can indulge in the frozen stuff without added sugar, eggs and cream. It’s super easy to make too, with only a short time in the freezer and a few ingredients. 

What is Nice Cream? 

Nice cream is a creamy, dreamy whole foods banana based frozen treat. It’s made of frozen bananas as a base and any other frozen fruit you’d like to add. For this Strawberry Nice Cream Recipe, I’ve included a bit of chocolate which when drizzled in with the food processor running, creates little flex of chocolate chips! YUM! To make it extra creamy I add a bit of coconut cream to the mix.

Naturally Sweetened and SO Fresh

When I’ve had too much ice cream and just want more, Strawberry Chocolate Chip Nice Cream (or nicecream?) is what I turn to for a treat that I can feel good about. There’s no added sugar per se’. Just a little bit in the dark chocolate drizzle. This nice cream recipe came out of my craving for something sweet, while on a cleanse. (okay – I cheated on the chocolate… and maple.. and… and…!!). 

A healthy nice cream recipe that quells the sweet tooth. It’s simple enough to make too in the food processor or blender with only a few ingredients.

How to Make this Strawberry Nice Cream Recipe

All you need is a few bananas, fruit, a fat like coconut cream or nut butter, a bit of vanilla, a pinch of salt and a food processor!  There are other delicious add ins like chocolate and spices too! It’s that simple. 

  • First, freeze the bananas and strawberries for at least an hour before processing. 
  • Second, process the ingredients in the food processor for about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the work bowl 2-3 times. 
  • Last, the Nice Cream is ready! Scoop into bowls or onto ice cream cones. Drizzle with more chocolate! 

Enjoy nice cream soft serve style straight from the bowl (my favorite) or give it an hour or two in the freezer so that it sets up just a bit.

A Few Strawberry Nice Cream Recipe Notes

  • I’ve included a single and double batch for Strawberry Chocolate Chip Nice Cream in the recipe below. For a double batch, you’ll need at least a 10-12 cup food processor. 
  • The technical/proper word for those flecks of chocolate in this recipe is stracciatella. Chocolate chips is easier to say and spell, so I went with it. 
  • Plan ahead! The bananas and strawberries need to be frozen at least 1 hour in advance. 
  • Look for vegan and gluten free chocolate if needed. 
  • Strawberry Nice Cream tastes best when enjoyed shortly after making it. The texture is smooth and creamy and the consistency is fluffy. I find freezing it for more than a few hours changes it’s character. If you do freeze it for a longer period of time, be sure to pull it out of the freezer and rest it on the counter for 20 minutes or so just to soften it a bit.

For Two Servings:

  • 2 C (207g) Frozen Bananas chopped into small chunks, about 2 bananas
  • 3/4 C (95g) Frozen Strawberries stems removed, cut in half
  • 2 Tbs Full Fat Coconut Milk Cream from a can, refrigerated, cream scooped out

  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Tbs (25g) Dark Chocolate chopped, then melted

  • 1 1/2 C (190g) Frozen Strawberries stems removed, cut in half
  • 4 Tbs Full Fat Coconut Milk Cream from a can, refrigerated, cream scooped out
  • 1/4 tsp Fine Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 C (50g) Dark Chocolate chopped, then melted

Instructions

  • Place a loaf pan or other small pan (at least 6 cup)  in the freezer while freezing the bananas and strawberries. The nice cream will be stored in this container after processing. 
  • In the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the S blade, add the bananas, strawberries, coconut cream, salt, and extract. Process for about three minutes until fluffy and creamy, scraping down the bowl two to three times or as needed during processing. Once processed, slowly drizzle in the melted chocolate while pulsing the food processor. This results in the tasty and texture rich chocolate flecks in the nice cream.
